Webinar:
Tourism is one of the most dynamic sectors in the South Baltic Sea Region and generating significant profits for the local and regional economy. However, we must change the way of thinking about tourism and creating culture routes, especially in the current special situation. One of the opportunities to develop the touristic sector is archeotourism and untapped archaeological heritage of the region.
The aim of the webinar is looking for the ways of developing the archaeotourism especially for the touristic sector (and local authority), using its potential in the enrichment of new and existing cultural routes and the ways of polarization the Baltic Heritage.

Target audience:
Companies, organizations and audience interested in developing culture routes related to the historical and archaeological heritage of the South Baltic Sea Region and use its untapped touristic potential, especially in archaeological (in particular: touristic sectors such as ferry companies, touristic organizations, tour operators; press, cultural institutions etc.).

The communication canals:
The meeting will take place on the Zoom meeting platform and be streamed by ArchaeoBalt YouTube channel. The audience will be able to ask the questions via chat.
